I ship all packages thru the United States post office. I also have delivery confirmation on everything that I ship in the United States. That way you can track your item at www.usps.com. I try to ship as soon as I receive payment thru paypal. With paypal I dont have your credit card information, so we won't ever have a problem in that department. I let paypal do all the work for me. A word about GOLD....with gold prices out of sight in today's market, GOLD-FILLED is a reliable source of gold. Gold filled is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Dont confuse gold plating & gold filled. Gold filled is much more valuable & tarnish resistant. It doesnt flake off, rub off or turn colors. Gold filled is an economical alternative to solid gold! Gold filled is regulated by the US government. Gold filled wears, looks & lasts like solid gold because the outer layer IS solid gold. Everything you can see & touch is pure gold. Gold filled items are considered lifetime products. With gold filled you get the same characteristics of solid gold like strength, durability & beauty, but at a fraction of the cost!! If you arent happy with your purchase,email me and we can work something out. Shipping charges are not refundable.
